In a recent poll of the AMA membership, 39.4% stated they were interested in building. Add to that fact that the AMA Plans Services sells a significant number of plans each month and it is obvious that people are building, or at least thinking about it.

On October 10, 2013 we conducted a webinar to share tips on selecting plans and building techniques. Hundreds of AMA members joined the webinar.
